No, do not recognize it. For a brief moment I thought 414639 was pictured until I convinced myself that the VIN has an "L". Interesting how with all the work being done that an original style latchtray was not used. I can only guess that they abandoned the vacuum setup and are using electric which may be easier w/o tray? Nice Daytona regardless.

Did '70 Chargers have one or two battery cooling holes on the radiator support?  This car has two holes, which could have happened on an earlier-build Daytona IIRC.  

The Z-bracket mounting is cobbled together, but the finished product looks nice.  Somebody needs to send them daytonalo's contact info for a set of "A" pillar mouldings though...

I've read on here and on moparts 2 Canada daytonas nothing more than a XX29 vin or fender tag in the remains.Maybe of those 2 vin known cars?

Funny the brake line accross the firewall is not in yet. Maybe rerouted? Not sure but can't seem to see a clutch rod through the firewall either? Nascarxx29 which 2 VIN's are you referring to?

If you paste Dave's link in a google search you have the option to translate the message board they are on. Someone on there states that the car is originally a 440.

Is it just me or is the dash vin "9" a little higher than the rest?

It does kinda look that way.

... don't know if its just the picture out of focas but   ......   compare the two vins !  the letters & numbers on the top  vin  to the bottom one , especially the  2  

[Wildman]

the "9" is different also... i call BS...

The 2 and 9 are not indexed inline

[Hemidog]

looks like new rivits too, and not the correct ones...
Is the "daytona" logo suppose to be that high? I know there is two different versions, but I don't think I've seen one quite that high.

I agree letter is off on the stripe

I see nothing yet for operation of headlight buckets.The spot on the firewall for vacuum lines is still open.It's still easy to plumb the hoses if that is what they are using.

Hello guys, I'm new to this forum, but have been lurking for quite a while...
Some more info on this ''Daytona''... The numbers are actually from a 500, the tags were sold by themselves on eBay a few years ago and bought by a local enthusiast, who's not really into numbes-matching, corect-looking cars, but likes to get cars built to his tastes. He has a hemified 70 Challenger convert and 71 Cuda, as well as a few Shelbys and more cars rarely seen outside his garage... He has a truck stop/restaurant/strip bar where he keeps a 54 Corvette in the basement, which can be seen through the glass dance floor!!! The VIN plate itself is probably a repro, and there is no fender tag present.
Here are a few pics from this summer:

I'll post more Quebec stuff later on, I'm still looking for news on the Superbird I owned in the early 80's...

YIKES!

[nascarxx29]

Lowest standing vin on a 69 daytona was 287970 followed by 355101.I see know you used a 500 Tag different sequence of numbers even though XX29 .As far back as 1979 the car was a X9 black 69 charger 500 Dale Vidulich Delta BC Canada

[Wildman]

So is this vehicle a 500 converted to a Daytona or a charger with a 500 tag on it? I hope it is a real 500 as if not and he ever sells I can see problems.
